I think this is very true, & applicable, today.

It is indeed, "sinful and tyrannical" - what governments do to we, that have become their subjects.

We must all be proactive, & stop funding this evil.

Where did the thought emerge that self reliant individuals do not need any form of government? While individuals can function very well independently from government, societies need structure to facilitate social activities among and between individuals. Self-reliant individuals are also members of a society and benefit from the facilitation and structure to conduct their affairs. What's wrong with having self reliant individuals who function as members of a society that benefits from having structure to facilitate activities within that society and with other societies???
